Same Day Registration:

Voters can 'conditionally' register and vote a provisional ballot during this time.

Same Day Voter Registration, known as Conditional Voter Registration in state law, is a safety net for Californians who miss the deadline to register to vote or update their voter registration information for an election.

Eligible citizens who need to register or re-register to vote within 14 days of an election can complete this process to register and vote at their county elections office, a satellite office polling place or vote center. Their ballots will be processed and counted once the county elections office has completed the voter registration verification process.
